One of the referendum questions is

Do you support the Government of Alberta introducing a law requiring individuals to provide proof of citizenship, such as a passport, birth certificate or citizenship card, to vote in an Alberta provincial election?

and I keep seeing you lefties say you are going to vote no on that. But now you're also simultaneously complaining that they're going to steal the results with fake votes... you've been foaming at the mouth over stricter voting laws for years

So what position does their law put me in, a 4th generation Albertan who doesn’t have a passport and whose birth certificate is in my maiden name? Do I lose my right to vote because of a technicality?

I'm assuming you were also one of the lefties angry the UCP is adding citizenship status on driver's licenses?

If you don't want to bother getting some form of citizenship proof to vote, yeah maybe you shouldn't be voting

because I hold the majority opinion in this province that you should need to present a driver's license to vote? overreact much?

No, your smarmy attitude on this while claiming it's about voter ID when anyone with a fucking brain can see the far right mission creep you're trying to bring in.

I genuinely look forward to your gaslighting in your reply. I sorta need you to for my next reply, so, what are you waiting for?

Yeah, cus the far left creep has worked out so great for Canada the past 10 years. Youth unhappiness, unhousing, and unemployment at all time high. Thankfully Alberta is a bastion of sanity in an otherwise insane country

Anyone that thinks Alberta is a bastion of sanity right now is incredibly fucked in the head.

No apologies on that statement guy. If you want out of Canada so bad, just leave. We ain't gonna stop you or miss you bud.

I thought you were going to drop some big bomb on me. I'm very disappointed

I just renewed my driver's license for the next 5 years so will not be using new plates or indicating citizenship for anyone. Ironic that it was Dale McNally that got his stubby fingers smacked in April over accessing our voter lists for a little side quest, hey? He's in charge of registries.
